The Recovery Process.

Chapter 6

How have you guys been?
-----

It was later that evening. Tommy was out of the shower and laying on a bed that him and Nick were going to have to share. He was taking a nap.

Nick was unpacking his things into the dresser him and Tommy were going to share.

Clay and George were unpacking all of their things, and things they would put around the room.

They were silent, they didn't have a reason to be loud. They also didn't want to wake the sleeping boy.

Soon came a knock on the door.

Clay groaned and slipped into the bathroom closing the door.

George answered the door. When he opened it, he saw the blue haired Scott.

"Hi Scott, what has brought you here?" George asked, Scott smiled.

"I brought you guys dinner. With a little help from a few friends, we cooked you up some goodies." Scott explained, George opened the door further to see a girl, short with short black hair, blue jeans overalls that were cutoff as shorts, and a yellow shirt underneath.

"Thank you, I really appreciate that. My family will too." He smiled, he opened the door further so they could come in and put the plates down.

"I could grab you guys something to drink?" The girl asked, her voice was soothing, and high pitch like.

"No thank you, we stole some water bottles from the kitchen." George answered, he looked at the girl and studied her features.

"You look like someone I've seen before." He stated, the girl laughed.

"Im a well known medic. Mostly known for saving anyone with the plants i mutated from biotechnology. The names Shrub, or my real name as Shelby!" She explained, George's eyes widened.

"Oh! I've read about you and your work! I really liked how you mixed- Gogy stop being so loud.." Tommy grumbled, Shelby giggled to the nickname.

"I'll talk to you about it later, George." Shelby said leaving the room with a wave, Scott left aswell.

"Wait- whats so special about her?" Nick asked, the bathroom door opened, "I would like to know aswell." Clay said a little agitated.

George rubbed the back of his neck, "I was basically fangirling. Shelby is well know in the medical field. I've read about her research. She could honestly heal Tommy without him having to go through the pain of therapy." He explained, both Clay and Nick glanced over to Tommy who was still sleeping soundly.

"Hm, maybe I should ask her, as Dream." He insinuated threatening her, George stared at him. If looks could kill, his would.

"Dont you dare. I'll ask her, like a normal human." He stated, Clay sighed and shrugged. Nick went back to his empty bag and tossed it near the chair.

"I'll wake Tommy so we can eat." Nick said, he walked over to Tommy and shook him awake.

Tommy groaned and sat up, "Why must you hate me?" Tommy said grogily, Nick just laughed.

Scott and Shelby were walking down the short hallway when an idea sprung in his head.

"Hey Shelby, so George has a kid named Tommy, and he may need your help." Scott insinuated, Shelby looked to Scott.

"How so? I'm always happy to help!" She smiled, her and Scott have been friends for awhile. So if Scott says she needs to help, she'll help in a heartbeat.

"Well, he was in an accident, and his legs don't work properly. He will have to endure major physical therapy. All of which would be painful. I was wondering if your work could help him walk again?" He asked hopeful, he wanted to help the family. Especially with the new soldiers going around.

Shelby thought for a moment. "I don't think I've created something stable enough to help for long term. But I do have a serum that can help for a shorter amount of time. He can take it like a prescription. That should help until I can get something that can actually help the kid. Ill only give him the serum if he asks though." She explained, Scott nodded.

"Lets get back to the group. Theyll be leaving soon." Scott instructed.

They hurried back to the departing group. They had to say goodbye before they went to another company's hide out.
